Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org

Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org is a non-partisan and non-denominational website that advocates judicial reform, first at the federal level, through legislation prohibiting and penalizing judges’ acts of disregard for the law, the rules, and the facts. Such acts have become so consistent as to form a pattern of conduct pointing to the judges’ coordination of wrongdoing. The factors behind this conduct are the judges’ refusal to discipline themselves in court through the statutory mechanisms therefor, the resulting immunity from prosecution that they enjoy as a matter of fact, and the pursuit of unethical or illicit benefits that becomes an insidious motive when wrongdoing is riskless. Given these factors, the website has developed and keeps refining a plan of action to achieve judicial reform. Its first step to eliminate the wrongdoing within the courts that judges have felt safe to engage in is to expose through investigative journalism its prolongation outside the courts, where benefits are managed and enjoyed: illegal financial activity.  (Motive of Judicial Wrongdoing & Strategy to Expose It; Dynamics of Corruption)
